consecutive trillion dollar deficit. america's national debt exceeds $16 trillion. interest on our debt is well in excess of $200 billion per year. to put our debt service in perspective, that more than four times what the federal government spends on all highway and transportation infrastructure projects in america each year. unless washington becomes financially responsible, future debt service will escalate and even more money will be spent on debt service rather than programs that serve americans. america's comptroller general issued a stern warning to president obama, quote, the comprehensive, long-term fiscal protections show that absent policy changes the federal government continues to face an unsustainable path. over the long term, the structural imbalance between spending and revenue will lead to continued growth of debt held by the public as a share of g.d.p. this means the current structure of the federal budget is unsustainable, end quote. america's current path and federal budget is unsustainable. absent ch

action by the government and when you look at the biggest issue that we face of this era, it's the deficit. it's the trillion dollars of debt and the president didn't really talk about that. he talked about, we're not a nation of takers but that we've become a nation of debtors. >> the president clearly is a smart man, a smart politician. he's also a writer, a thoughtful person. if that is the speech, if the speech as ari described, why would he decide to give that speech? what's the political goal? >> this is the last time he's getting sworn in as president of the united states. that's why. i think it's martin luther king day. martin luther king was courageous. martin made this point earlier that perhaps the president had some sense of guilt about not doing gun control and that it took newtown to get him to do that and so this is the speech you get to give once and i think there may have been a sense he wanted to be aggressive because he could and because he had to set out what he believes he said, i'm not going to get all of it, don't let the perfect -- nothing can be perfect. but i do b
